With the native calendar app, I find that if I set the initial appointment with Siri, then go into the appointment and edit it, I can get to all the fields I want. But, starting a new appointment via the keyboard is now pretty much useless.

If anybody has tips for sticking with the Apple Calendar, though, that would be great.

The commas between each phrase cause it to put the parts of the appointment in their proper fields. So the above would set an appointment for Dr. Smith on July 21, 2021 at 10:30 am with an alert 1 hour before. It is just basic but it has the language parsing you were asking about.

They put effort into making their software accessible. Microsoft has a free app called Microsoft To Do but that's more for task management. There are tons of calendar apps and there may be accessible ones undiscovered by blind people. However, the only ones I know about are paid apps. Google Calendar is likely the best bet for something accessible and totally free. On Sat, Jul 3, 2021 at 7:59 AM K.

I find the regular Calendar app unbearably cumbersome, especially for adding events; just creating a single event can take several minutes. I'm not interested in paying for a monthly subscription for something like Fantastical. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
